What could be wrong if there is a strong sewer gas smell whenever any of the faucets or shower is running and the water pressure has decreased significantly?

Is there a floor drain or any other drain nearby that is not used often? Sometimes the p-trap in a drain will dry out and allow sewer gas to escape. The smell becomes more intense when hot water goes down the drain.

If your water pressure is low at all faucets, you can buy a gauge to fit faucets threaded for garden hose, they are about $10. You pressure should be 40-55psi.
